24 hrs. in Glamis

Back from another midweek crusade in the holy land. Not many places I would hammer out the three hours out and back for 24hrs of fun. Being a self professed fanatic, it turns out Glamis is one of them.

Osbourne Overlook

Camped at Osbourne and got the dunes just how we like em. Untouched and empty. As is all too typical of camping at Osbourne Overlook, met some interesting folks. Personified in this case by Charles Chandler a photog/paraglider. Paragliding is some seriously sick business. Based on watching take off and landing and how quick and easy they are to setup, I think I need to re-evaluate my glamis in between riding down time. The paragliders name was Charles Chandler and his website is

He took a few pics from the air which I am hoping to get my hands on. I will add them to this post if and when I do. Most photos are from the new Canon 5d Mark II. A new Mark II I might add, that was immediately equipped with one of these. Shot some video with it as well and once I figure out how to edit that video without my computer blowing up, I will post that as well. Its pretty sweet as its his whole take off. Specifically my buddy with beer in hand almost getting a hair cut. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is quite as nice as the sand during the week.
